Though Alpharetta had to cancel its Scarecrow Harvest Festival because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the city promises the scarecrows downtown will be back in October.
“Design and display your scarecrow using your favorite book theme, movie character, TV show, athlete, etc.,” the city said. “The scarecrow application process is simple and free, open to EVERYONE and only requires your creativity.”
School groups, businesses, civic and faith-based organizations and families are invited to participate. Applications will be accepted through Thursday, Sept. 10. One application is for accredited classrooms, pre-K through fifth grade, and the other is for everyone else. To apply: http://bit.ly/Alphascarecrowapps
A “People’s Choice” award will go to the scarecrow receiving the most votes Oct. 6-13. A “Schoolest” award will go to the school with the most scarecrow entries. Information: http://bit.ly/alpharettascarecrows2020
